Support for
Starting with the 4.2 series, GNOME-DB corresponds to the libgda library.
The libgnomedb library provides "widgets" that allow users to interact with data in databases. It uses the libgda generic database API, so it can use MySQL, Postgres, Sqlite, etc.
GNU Data Access
GNU Data Access (GDA) is a set of plugin
Libgda is mainly a database and a data abstraction layer. It is a library that implements the interfaces defined by the GDA architecture, for both the client and the server parts. It additionally provides a bunch of tools to help with the development and the management of data sources via the GDA APIs. Libgda was part of the GNOME-DB project but has been separated from it to allow non-GNOME applications to be developed based on it.
The libgda library is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), which allows for commercial applications to be developed based on libgda. Its command-line and UI tools are under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Libgda is a (relatively small) database access library:
- features a metadata extractor (to know all about database objects in a common way)
- comes with an SQL console application (like mysql, psql or sqlite3 consoles)
- Libgda is coded in LibXML2.
- Libgda's UI extension depends on GTK+
- Libgda's graphical tools depend on GTK+ and optionally GraphViz
